An advisory committee of Green Bay City Council members voted in a special meeting Monday to recommend approval of Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s controversial store proposed for a key downtown redevelopment site.

The vote is unusual because it comes before the plan has been vetted by Plan Commission members and after the Walmart superstore has met strong resistance from both city officials and community members. Critics suspect the Walmart backers are trying to influence a future Plan Commission vote. Store supporters say that opponents are simply trying to stall the project.
